The station at Woods Hall has been
actively engaged IN collecting, Matching
and distributing the eggs of goldfish, of
which %, 100000 have been hatched and
planted in Vineyard Sound and other ad-
jacent waters. 1t is probable that the
total production of the season will exceed
100, 900, 900 Goldfish when eggs are OBJ
tained from the Ipswich Bay school. At
Wytheville, Va, the collecting Of Cali
fornia trout eggs Is in full progress, over
1O0,0 900 eggs having been obtained, of which
fifty per cent. will be distributed in lots Of
8, 900 and 10000 to the different State COM
missions, the balance to be Matched and
reared ut the station, and distributed as
yearling fish to the streams of the Appal-
achian region in Pennsylvania, Virginia,
West Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia
and Tennessee.
Another interesting feature of the work
of the commission, and one which is, per-
haps, more familiar to the general reader,
is the method used for distributing fish
Previous to 1880 the Fish Commission sent
its fish in large milk cans all over the
country, in baggage cars, in special
charge of messengers" who changed the
water en- route as often as necessary, and
otherwise cared for the young fish. This
method of transportation was attended
hooo
in the mortality of the young fish, from
the exposure to the heat or cold of the
baggage car and the change of the water
in different localities. Since that time
however, the commission has had built for
its use cars especially adapted to the uses
of transportation. These cars are 80 con-
structed that sufficient water can be car
ried, for the entire shipment, often cover
ing several days. By process Of aeration
the water is used again and again to re-
plenish the water taken from the recep-
tacles in which the fish are carried. These
vessels are simply tin buckets with per-
forated covers, holding perhaps quart of
water, and are placed underneath the
| floor Of the car. About one hundred cans
are usually carried, the number of fish Of
course varying according to the size.
Over 1,500,0OO white fish were recently
transported in one shipment to Oregon and
Washington Territory with q loss of only
five hundred. These cars are provided
with comfortable berths for the messen-
gers, akitchen. refrigerators, tanks, pump

ing-engines, Matching apparatus, and every
thing necessary for the proper care Of the
fish while en- route to their destination
The spring shipments of shad has already
commenced, and millions of them are find
ing homes in the rivers all over the coun-
try.
Such is q brief sketch of some of the
features OF the United States Fish Com
mission, an institution peculiarly American
in its conception, and without parallel in
any other governmental organization. 1t
has achieved world wide reputation for
ITS enterprise and originality Of method.
Its work is better appreciated abroad than
in the United States, and at the Interna-
tional Fisheries Exhibition at Berlin and
at London we carried away a majority of
the prizes for supremacy both in scientific
method and practical results. Throughout
Europe the United States Fish Commission
Is being held up as one Of the most striking
evidences Of the public spirit, intelligence
and liberality OF the American nation.

charge. He Is recognized by all nations as
sthe first fish.culturist in the world" evil
denced by the grand prize awarded to him
by the International Fisheries Exhibition
at Berlin in 1880.
The principal activity of the commits
sioner, however, has been directed ~ to
the wholesale replenishment of our de-
pleted waters, (2) the investigation of the
fisheries past and present, (3) the intro
duction and multiplication of useful food
fishes throughout the country. These were
the main purposes for which the comrlis-
sion was founded.
In an article OF this nature 1t Is impossi-
BILE to review even casually the important
work accomplished by the commission,
and it is only within the purview of q
newspaper article to give brief account
of the methods employed for Matching and
distributing fish. The policy of Prof.
Baird has been to carry out the idea that it
is better to expend a small amount Of
public money in making fish 80 abundant
that they can be caught without restric-
ton, and serve Us cheap food for people at
large, rather than to expend much larger
amount in preventing the people from
catching the few that still remain after
generations of improvidence.
The commission has thus established
Matching stations in various States of the
country. These are known as collecting
and distributing stations. The former are
located near tho spawning grounds Of
those species for which they are especially
intended. The eggs are received at these
) stations, and, enough having been re-
served to stock the waters of that region,
the remainder are sent to distributing
stations, usually located at some central
point, to be hatched and shipped to the
waters for which they are intended. The
following stations have thus far been
established: Grand Lake Stream, Maine;
Bucksport, Maine; Woods Hole, Mass.

q base Of operations for the scientific in

de Grace, Nd; Washington, D. G. (here
Is situated the central Matching station,
fully equipped for scientific experiments
connected with the propagation of fishes {;
1t is also the principal distributing station
of the Fish Commission for both eggs and
young fish to all portions of the United
States); Wytheville, Va; Saint Jerome's

HE is such tickle, inconstant fellow,
you will never be happy with him." said
Esther's friends when they learned of her
engagement to q young man who bore the
reputation of being o sad fiirt. Esther,
however, knew that her lover had good
qualities, and she was willing to take the
risk. In nine cases out of ten 1t would
have proved mistake; but Esther was an
uncommon girl and to every ones surprise
Fred made u model husband. How was It'll
Well, Esther had n cheerful, sunny temper
and great deal of tact. Then she enjoyed
perfect health and was always SO sweet,
neat and wholesome that Fred found his
own home most pleasant, and his own wife
more agreeable, than any other being. AS
the year passed and he saw other women OF
Esther's age grow siclsly, faded and queru
lous, he realized moro and more that he had
"a jewel Of WIFE" Good health was hall
the secret of Esther's success. She re.
tanned her vitality and good looks, because
she warded off feminine weaknesses and
ailments by the use of DR.. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription.

A FAMOUS DETECTIVE.

JAMES JACKSON, the famous State detect.
i've, resides in Sing Sing, and is generally
in attendance at the prison. His duties are
to examine carefully the face of every con-
vict as he enters, and to scrutinize every
visitor in order to prevent any discharged
convict seeing his pals. Occasionally he
has to make long journeys in pursuit of
runaway prisoners or to identify criminals
convicted in other States. He never makes
q mistake; if once he looks n man in the
eye he will know him under any disguise,
rs he tells his man by the look of his eyes
Once an escaped convict had his nose pared
down one third, but jackson detected him
at once, Notwithstanding this remarkable
change of feature. Mr.. jackson Is about 5
feet inches in height, about 35 years old,
Of a light and sinewy build, with black hair
and piercing black eyes, and is altogether
remarkably handsome. He knows about
10, 600 criminals, and it is simply wonderful
that he can distinguish the features OF ev-
cry one. On his long journeys he eats very
moderately and always takes one Brand
reth pill at night. When much fatigued by
the jolting of the cars on his tires ONE trips
he uses two Allcocks Porous Plasters on
the small of the back, which give him re-
newcd vigor and quickly relieve him of all
wenriness. These are the only two RENE
dies he uses, and he attributes his vigor and
remarkable health to allcock's Porous
Plasters and Brandreth's Pills. Sing Sing,
